Recipe link please?

It's basic Vanilla Pudding - thespruceeats.com

We don't use the vanilla pudding box. Scroll down to the cornstarch recipe.

3 cups milk, divided
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Scald 2 2/3 cups of milk. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, sugar and salt. Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup of milk. Add to the scalded milk and cook one low heat, constantly stirring, until thickened and smooth. (should not be lumpy). Continue cooking for about 5 minutes to cook cornstarch thoroughly. Cool lightly and stir in vanilla.

You can pour into serving dishes/small individual bowls or cups. You can sprinkle some cinnamon or sprinkles. Eat warm or cold.

What we do is pour a small layer of pudding. Then we place Pavesini cookies that were dunked in espresso (or similar cookie/Stella D'Oro) or even tea beascuit cookies (they are a bit thin) - on top. Make another layer of pudding and so on. Depending on the size of the plate you use. We make one or two layers. Same as above - sprinkle some cinnamon. You can add some shredded chocolate too if you like. We like to let it set in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Prepare the coffee earlier/anytime/refrigerate. It should not take more than 25 minutes or so.

Thanks.

Thanks.

You are welcome. We grew up on this. My mom made it all the time but never followed a recipe of course. I could never get the right consistency until I followed the recipe I found. I think Argo cornstarch has a recipe too. Everyone loves it. Good luck and enjoy if you decide to try it.

I love it too. My grandparents were from Spain. They've been gone a long time and I have been missing my Grandma's cooking. I can attest that Spain on a Fork recipes taste just like my Grandma's food! He makes them really easy to follow too.

Just baked a blueberry pie with homemade crusts. My husband is going on a diet, so no more baked goods for a while

Grilled fruit is a great healthy dessert. You can dip it in healthy hummus.

Ick! It's not grilled, it is baked. Can't wait for apple pie season. My husband will have to just control himself, LOL.

Just pulled (big sandwich) out of the oven. DGD and I made it together. She is taking it home for her lunches this week.

We made the dough and then it is covered in ham, salami and mozzarella, garlic olive oil . Folded over (like a calzone) and sealed. Topped with more garlic olive oil.

Bacalao was my grandma's specialty!

There are lots of dishes on that website that taste so close to her recipes.

I have 18th century ancestors from Spain but I know very little about them. The channel helps me feel a connection to the country.

Do you have her recipe book?

 

[AustinTink]

Do you have her recipe book?

No, but she taught my mom all her dishes and my mom taught me many of them.

Today I made a Spanish Tortilla which is not like the tortilla we know in the US and Mexico. It''s basically a potato and egg omelette. I make it on the weekends.

This is my family's potato salad. I had never seen it anywhere before until I found the Spain on a Fork website. I had no idea it was traditional Spanish. I thought it was a crazy concoction my grandma made up. Lol. https://spainonafork.com/spanish-ensaladilla-rusa-recipe/
